VIVAMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Dios que tanto nos amas, danos un corazón nuevo
en estos últimos días de la Cuaresma, un corazón
marcado e impregnado con tu amor, a fin de que
siempre podamos discernir tu voluntad y acceder
a hacerla, aun cuando necesitamos experimentar
algún tipo de muerte. Y que en esa muerte
confiemos que tú harás brotar una vida nueva.

POPE BACKS SECRETARIAT
FOR ECONOMY IN BID FOR
VATICAN REFORM
Pope Francis has approved the statutes of the
Secretariat for the Economy, giving an important
victory to Cardinal George Pell in his quest for
transparency and accountability in Vatican
financial affairs.
Cardinal Pell, the prefect of the Secretariat for
the Economy, had faced mounting opposition to
his plans. Last week, Italian newspapers carried
stories, based on leaked documents, alleging
lavish spending at the new agency. Both the
Secretariat for the Economy and the Vatican press
office rejected those charges.
During last month’s consistory of cardinals,
several prelates said that the powers of the new
Secretariat should be trimmed, preserving some
of the autonomy traditionally enjoyed by Vatican
agencies. By approving the draft statutes, Pope
Francis chose not to accept those suggestions.
The Crux web site notes that the statutes, as
approved by the Pontiff, take back only one aspect
of the sweeping authority that the Secretariat
for the Economy had sought: the Secretariat will
not supervise the Vatican’s real-estate holdings.
Otherwise the statutes confirm the authority that
DIOCESE & WORLD NEWS
Cardinal Pell had sought.
The Secretariat for the Economy is supervised
by a Council for the Economy. The office itself
supervises all Vatican financial transactions, and
includes an auditor general with powers to inspect
the books of any Vatican office.

CARDINAL TAURAN
INSTALLED AS CAMERLENGO
Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran has formally taken the
oath to serve as camerlengo, the Vatican official
who administers the temporal affairs of the Holy
See upon the death or resignation of a Pope.
Cardinal Tauran was appointed camerlengo last
December, succeeding Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone,
who resigned upon reaching the age of 80.
The new camerlengo retains his current post
as president of the Pontifical Council for InterReligious Dialogue. Catholic World News - March 09, 2015
ON PARISH VISIT, POPE
URGES THE FAITHFUL TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR SINS,
TRUST IN JESUS
“We cannot deceive Jesus; He knows us in depth,”
Pope Francis told the congregation at Mass during
a March 8 visit to a parish on the outskirts of Rome.
At the parish of Santa Maria Madre del Redentore,
in a neighborhood, the Pope denounced
the people who exploit the poor, protesting
against “the injustice of unemployment and
discrimination.” He added that the Mafia, too, uses
poor people “to make them do their dirty work.”
The Pope spoke at length about the importance
of acknowledging one’s failings and relying on
Christ’s mercy. Jesus can heal all ills, he said, except
those of someone “who lets himself be seen to be
good, to cover the hidden sins.”
Before visiting the parish itself, the Pope stopped
at a home for the sick and handicapped, operated
by the Missionaries of Charity. “Jesus never
abandons us,” he told the residents. “Never lose
your trust in him.” Catholic World News - March 09, 2015

THE NEW COVENANT
When the prophet Jeremiah coined the

something quite radical. For the Jewish people,
there was only one covenant, the one made
between the Lord God and Israel through Moses
at Mount Sinai. For Jeremiah to suggest that God

would somehow supersede the covenant with
a new one would have sounded audacious to
Jewish ears. But in this way he is a predecessor of
Jesus who, in the Gospel of John, is continually
portrayed as superseding the past, establishing
the reign of God in a new way. And in today’s
Gospel passage, Jesus the “new covenant” speaks
the language of his “new commandment” of love

when he tells of the dying grain of wheat, and of
our own need to die to self in order to be raised
with Christ. As Lent ends and we prepare to enter
into Holy Week, the dying grain of wheat serves
as an excellent symbol of the kind of dying and
selfsacrifice to which disciples are called, a symbol
of that new covenant written deep within our
hearts. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
